The sound of Jack's voice as he continued the tale worried Ianto. There seemed to be a lot of unresolved pain in his life with Andrew. Ianto was not jealous of Andrew. He was ashamed that he couldn't help Jack more with his hurt. But lending an ear was the best he could do. He felt such love from his Captain because he was opening up to Ianto, that even if the words were never said, he knew that it was understood.

Ianto reached for the bottle and refilled both their glasses. Jokingly, he said, "next time I bring the brandy, it is better with a story." Jack chuckled despite the difficultly in the moment. He knew he was in love with Ianto. How could anyone not be?

Laughing at the young man's joke, he kissed his cheek and continued his tale. "Back to young lust," he smirked as Ianto nudged him.

They became aware of each other's likes very quickly. Young love had its way of exploring boundaries and they never seemed to be at the end of the quest. Nor were they away from each other for too long. Blue found himself sleeping in Andy's bed every night. Andy's parents didn't know. As matter of fact, no one seemed to figure it out. If they did, no one cared. Well, with the exception of Max, who was hurt by no second date with Andy. Also, Blue's current threesome felt jilted by him. For the most part they vanished, which was normal for their friendship anyway. Most people knew that.

One day they were up at the cave, messing around. Blue became demanding as he tried to remove Andy's shirt. Andy kept slapping away his hand until he shoved Blue away. Blue was pissed.

"What is wrong with you? It not like we haven't done it before." He yelled, frustrated.

"Blue, it just doesn't seem right today. I don't feel very well." Andrew explained. "Can't we just cuddle?"

Blue looked at Andrew and noticed he was a little paler then normal and thinner. As a matter of fact Blue remembered Andy picking at his food for the last few days. Also when he awoke this morning Andrew was in the bathroom being sick. He was worried that something was wrong with Andrew. Bringing his hand to his forehead, he could feel that Andy was running a temperature. He gathered Andy into his arms and held him.

"I think we should go back. You have a fever."

Andrew blinked. "I do feel a chill." With that said, they gathered their things and headed home.

No one was more shocked at the news that Andrew was with child than his parents. They had an idea that their son could conceive; one out of ever 20 men could. It was the when he started having sex that bother them. He didn't seem to be even interested in it. That was unusual for any one in the 51st century. They had an idea who the father was. The prospect was not someone they liked for a son in law. There was no surprise when their son told them. They called Blue to the doctor's office. They had a lot of things to discuss with him and Andy.

Andy looked scared when Blue arrived. Fear washed over Blue's face when he saw Andy. He had a feeling that he was going to hear bad news so he sat down. The doctor began to explain what was happening.

"A baby!" Blue jumped out of his chair. Andrew just giggled. "That is fantastic!" He went to Andy and hugged him. And in front of the others, kissed him. "When and what is it?" He asked.

"As far as we can tell, it's a boy." The doctor said. "Blue, there are things Andy and you have to understand first. Andy is still developing right now and there is a good chance he won't bring it to term. Male pregnancies are still risky and the younger the more chances of a miscarriage. Also, because Andy is so young it could be dangerous, even life threatening for him as well. I suggest that the pregnancy be terminated.

"Andrew, in time you can try again. It will be a lot safer." The doctor looked around the room at the stunned faces.

Tears in his eyes, Andrew spoke, "I want our child. I'll take that chance."

"Andy, you don't know what you saying." His father said. "That is impossible I won't allow it. And you!" He exclaimed, looking at Blue "You have been trouble since you came in to his life. I will not lose another child!" He screamed at Blue.

Blue's anger flared and he stood face to face with Andrew's dad. "I love him and I will stand by his decision. If he wants this, then I do too and I will take care of him so nothing happens!" With that said he turned to the doctor. "What can we do to prevent a miscarriage?" Andrew's father dumbfounded admitted defeat.

There was a no sex rule but they could fool around. Andrew was confined to the house and no visitors, outside his family and Blue, to prevent extra bacteria from entering his system. He was home schooled for the confinement. There was a strict diet and a minor exercise program. There were some herbs he was allowed but no chemical drugs at all. His painting was put on hold because of the dangers any toxins from the paints and cleaning chemicals that could potentially harm the baby. He was monitored constantly with a medical bracelet.

After the first three months he was ready to kill himself. He hated every minute of it.

He was voicing this to Blue, who simply laughed and gathering him in his arms, His hand strayed to Andy's belly and he felt the warmth that was their son. He lifted Andrew's shirt and with a soft kiss first to Andy, he bent down to kiss his son. Andrew purred at this. And they began to make out.

Six months into the pregnancy, things changed. Andy was growing moody and would lash out at Blue and his parents. He was angry all the time. One time he accused Blue of cheating on him when he swore he could smell Max all over him. With one swift motion he punched Blue in the stomach sending him into the door.

Seeing Blue crumple to the ground, Andrew said, "Oh dear. When did I get this strong?"

Blue, despite his pain, laughed at Andrew. With great effort he got up and hugged his lover, and said those three words. "I love you, Andrew. There is no one else."

Andy felt the reassurance from Blue wash over him and said. "I love you too."

That night while the two slept, Andrew's bracelet went off. Blue woke with a start to discover blood and Andrew unconscious. He yelled for Andy's parents.

Try as they might, the baby didn't make it. Andrew lost his ability to have children when they needed to remove his reproductive organs because of the damage. When Andy woke a few days later he knew by Blue's face that their son was dead.

They both held each other and wept for a very long time.
